Rode is issuing a firmware update that enables Direct Connect on Wireless Pro and Wireless Go (third-gen) microphones. The update allows the microphones to pair with iPhones and iPads via Bluetooth using the Rode Capture app, eliminating the need for a physical receiver. The company states the feature preserves broadcast-quality audio. The system still supports recording from two transmitters in merged mode, which blends audio into a single stereo track, or split mode, which places recordings on separate channels for post-production flexibility. Removing receiver setup simplifies workflows, reduces equipment needs, and provides environmental and cost benefits for creators who already own compatible mics.
"Rode is rolling out a firmware update for its Wireless Pro and Wireless Go (third-gen) microphones to add a feature called Direct Connect, which was already available for the Wireless Micro. This allows the mics to pair with iPhones and iPads via Bluetooth without the need for a receiver. All you'll need is the Rode Capture app. Rode said it's able to offer Direct Connect for Wireless Pro and Wireless Go without compromising "the broadcast-quality audio both wireless systems are known for.""
"The feature still supports the option to record from two transmitters in either merged (whereby the audio blends into a single stereo track) or split (which keeps the recordings on separate channels to allow for more options in post-production) modes. Not having to worry about setting up a physical receiver to link these mics to iOS devices could help streamline things quite a bit for creators."
